So I want to adjust this cabinet. the face of the cabinet has a void extrusion to make the inset. all that is Cool. when I adjust the cabinet width. the void extrusion adjusts also to keep the inset perfectly even with the width. My question is that there is no dims locked or refernece planes controlling that. as you can see from the picture. How the heck is it able to automatically adjust itself?? Is there a setting I don't know about where the compputer can basically know how to flex it without being locked to a reference plane?

In the front view, select the void, edit extrusion, type VV and put a check mark next to Automatic Sketch Dimensions under the Annotation Categories tab. Behind the scene, revit is ‘guessing’ your intentions and automatically placing constrains for you. I would however, still make my own constraints. Although revit is doing a pretty good job applying them, it can be wrong at times.
